Hoping for a 6-10 season, media needs to turn up the heat on Payton.

I have no hope for this team until he leaves or he loses his ego and gets real coaches underneath him.

Maybe Coach is a little preoccupied.

Re: This year has been fun
 

I don't think its the coach at all. We are lucky to have I'm. We are getting closer. we r much better than last season and will have a little money to spend. I do wish we would draft a little better. We have a top 5 corner and a top 5 tackle that have been injured all season. Next year is the year we get back to the playoffs and that was what I expected two years ago. We are close.

We can't finish as a team, hell last nights game the offense never started.

We always find new ways to lose and that falls squarely on Payton.

Brees is pressing so much he is becoming a turnover machine.

Defense cannot be blamed, in the last 4 out of 5 games the defense hasn't allowed a second half TD. Now where's this high flying number 1 offense, still stuck in neutral thats where.

We must have the dumbest owners in the league, even Cleveland know when to cut ties.

For 3 seasons we have started 0-3 or 0-4 and finished with a losing record, after 2 of those Payton gets a 5 year extension!

The team will continue this way, regardless of injuries until changes at the top are made.

Payton needs to fire some of his buddies or just resign himself, even if we are fully healthy next year guarantee we will find a way to start 0-3 yet again.

We could be 7-3 if we did one simple thing - run the hurry-up in key situations. We might be the only team in the modern NFL that refuses to run the hurry up.

We had the Panthers defense tired and on their heels even before Kuechly went out. Could have saved multiple minutes on the clock, yet still ran Hightower and took the short stuff Panthers were giving us. But there we go again with our ball-control-comeback offense.

Texas and so many other college teams have little problem implementing hurry-up offenses with freshman QB's and young O-lines. And I'm not asking to do it the whole game, just in some sequences during the 3rd and 4th quarter. There's no excuse.

If Drew wants to Win and be remembered with QB's like Elway, Marino and Manning I think this change needs to be made. Otherwise all these passing stats start to look a little hollow.

Re: This year has been fun
 

I really think our team is good enough to beat anyone, but young and inexperienced enough to lose to anyone also. As long as Brees doesn't spontaneously age, the next 2-3 years are going to be really good.

Re: This year has been fun
 

Carolina was in a Tampa 2 most of the night taking away all the deep throws. Our receivers just aren't good enough yet with their route running.
We needed some quick slants and back shoulder throws last night. Panthers D was too quick for the screen game to work. Drew needed to get rid of the ball quicker last night as well. Has to hit the check down receiver sooner.

Re: This year has been fun
 

So why did they not adapt with the slant routes?

Re: This year has been fun
 

They thought running Draw plays up the gut with 4 minutes to go would hurt more.

Hurt us as fans I mean, not the panthers...

I can say 6 games were not fun
